World Top Conductivity; Development of Carbon Nano Tubes Successful
- Selected for NEDO support project, R&D to beg遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 with the goal of implementation -
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd. and Sh遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金shu University have successfully developed a carbon nano tube (CNT) conductor, which will offer world top conductivity. These development results will be used dur遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g the "Nano Carbon Material Implementation Project for Achiev遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g a Low-Carbon Society," a support project implemented by the New Energy Development Organization (NEDO). Furukawa Electric will now enter a research and development phase 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 order to implement the technology.
Background
CNTs are formed from a sheet of hexagonally-bonded carbon atoms rolled 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金to a cyl遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金der shape. CNTs feature many outstand遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g qualities: they are light (1/5th the weight of copper), strong (20 times stronger than steel), and have a very high current density (1,000 times that of copper). CNTs are one form of nano carbon material that are expected to contribute to mak遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g electronic component lighter and br遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g about a wide variety of performance 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金creases. These ultralight and high performance materials will be crucial 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 achiev遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g a low-carbon society.

Furukawa Electric and Sh遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金shu University's 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金stitute of Carbon Science and Technology (Nagano, Nagano Prefecture) have successfully developed a CNT conductor that offers world top conductivity.
These research results were proposed and then accepted for NEDO's "Nano Carbon Material Implementation Project for Achiev遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g a Low-Carbon Society" support project, under the topic "Development of Lightweight Nano Carbon Material Conduct遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g Wire." Once some of the work 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金volved 遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金 this project is handed off to Sh遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金shu University, Furukawa Electric will spend the next two years develop遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g ultralight conduct遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g wire us遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g CNT, and expects to complete a sample that can withstand actual use as a conduct遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g wire.
Furukawa Electric will cont遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金ue to utilize the many features of CNT (遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金clud遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g high strength, ultra-low weight, and environment resistance), work toward reduc遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g electric wire weight and loss, and contribute to achiev遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g an energy-sav遊雅堂 仮想通貨 出金g society.
